I know the forums are powered by the same company, but are the layouts suppose to be similiar or is this just a coincidence? This just struck me as odd :bouncy:. Just wanted to know.

Both are vBulletin, probably using a similar template.

Yeah, when we switched from phpbb to vB, I wanted a template that looked as close to the phpbb one as possible, so CAGs wouldn't freak out.

I bought this template from a company, and I'm sure others have done the same. I've made some tweaks here and there, but yeah, its the same template.

It might be time for a custom template soon...

Yeah, I've seen this template on a couple of other sites.

We need something custom, and CAG only damnit.

Yeah, I agree.
We needed to get off PHPBB in a hurry as the site was growing so fast, and our PHPBB installation was falling apart. I wanted to get to vB ASAP and didn't want to spend time getting something custom made, and I felt this template, since it was so close to our old one, would be the least painful for CAGs.

I agree, we should get something custom made.

If we do get something custom made, we will be keeping the same color scheme, correct? Dark gray, orange, green?

Wow, I just remembered that we used to have two schemes. We should do that again: that is, keep this one and add a new one.

Yeah, I'm sure we would keep the same color scheme since we're all so used to it. But having another one to choose from is a good idea.
